Ok…so Apartment Therapy is hosting their Homies nominations for Favorite Home Design Blogs.
And I went over to vote for my girl Sherry.
And what did I see?
Yeah…that 18 of my relatives, close friends & paid strangers on the street voted for Bower Power. And then 5 other readers did too!
Shut the door. I almost went into labor. I was and am and will continue to be totally flattered. My first time EVER with publicity. Sure it’s not a shoutout from Martha but hey, I’ll take it.
And then there was comments. COMMENTS! ABOUT ABP!
It was like christmas all over again.
especially with this one:
it made my holiday.
especially the word in all caps.
it reminds me of why I love this blogworld. This is a place for our weirdness to come out. a place to be ourselves and talk about things we are passionate about. a place for strangers to become friends.
Thank you Homies. Thank you from the bottom of my toes to the top of my WEIRD shaped head 🙂
You totally deserve it! And you can count us as one of your votes. We love that weird shaped head of yours but your fabulous eye for design and gorgeous photos were the clincher for us!
xo,
Sherry (& John)
YEAH! Go you!!! Love your sense of humor, too (probably ‘cause its so similar to mine)! From one weirdo to another, congratulations! It is very well deserved!
I would just like to say that I am one of the five you didn’t pay (but you can send a check anyway!).
In fact, on the day the Homies opened, I went on to vote for a my favs and I was like, where the heck is Katie? (It was early in the day, so none of your other raving fans had gotten there yet.) So, I entered your blog and all was right with the world. Whew.
Good luck!!
Awww Erin – thanks girl! And I would send you a check but it would only be for 83 cents because otherwise it would probably bounce 🙂 So I guess you’ll have to consider yourself paid with cyber-hugs 🙂

Katie, I read your blog daily, and I have to say I was pretty shocked to see my comment front and center on this entry. I blushed for about ten minutes. I really did mean weird in a good way, of course! 🙂 Love your blog and can’t wait to see what’s up in the new year!
Erin T – I love love LOVE what you wrote and how you wrote it. I hope I didn’t embarrass you! It actually made me laugh out loud when I read that comment… because it makes me feel like you are part of my family. Like a cyber sister of sorts. It just goes to show that you people know me. the good, the bad and the weird 🙂

Well, we’re kind of real homies, too– I live in Athens (graduated from UGA), plus all of my and my husband’s family are from Dalton (close to Chattanooga)! And I’m plenty weird myself. 🙂
Just voted for you! Love this blog – you are fantastically weird.
Already voted. Got a little lost ’cause I kept looking for the “WEIRDEST HOMIE” category. You are the WEIRDEST homie I know but your impeccable style makes up for it. =] Love ya! Miss you too!
